CVE-2025-38294 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-11-19 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: fix NULL access in assign channel context handler Currently, when ath12k_mac_assign_vif_to_vdev() fails, the radio handle (ar) gets accessed from the link VIF handle (arvif) for debug logging, This is incorrect. In the fail scenario, radio handle is NULL. Fix the NULL access, avoid radio handle access by moving to the hardware debug logging helper function (ath12k_hw_warn). Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.3.1-00173-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1 Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0.c5-00481-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-3
CVE-2025-38284 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-11-19 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtw89: pci: configure manual DAC mode via PCI config API only To support 36-bit DMA, configure chip proprietary bit via PCI config API or chip DBI interface. However, the PCI device mmap isn't set yet and the DBI is also inaccessible via mmap, so only if the bit can be accessible via PCI config API, chip can support 36-bit DMA. Otherwise, fallback to 32-bit DMA. With NULL mmap address, kernel throws trace: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000001090 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 71 Comm: irq/26-pciehp Tainted: G OE 6.14.2-061402-generic #202504101348 Tainted: [O]=OOT_MODULE, [E]=UNSIGNED_MODULE RIP: 0010:rtw89_pci_ops_write16+0x12/0x30 [rtw89_pci] RSP: 0018:ffffb0ffc0acf9d8 EFLAGS: 00010206 RAX: ffffffffc158f9c0 RBX: ffff94865e702020 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000718 RSI: 0000000000001090 RDI: ffff94865e702020 RBP: ffffb0ffc0acf9d8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000000015 R13: 0000000000000719 R14: ffffb0ffc0acfa1f R15: ffffffffc1813060 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff9486f3480000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000001090 CR3: 0000000090440001 CR4: 00000000000626f0 Call Trace: <TASK> rtw89_pci_read_config_byte+0x6d/0x120 [rtw89_pci] rtw89_pci_cfg_dac+0x5b/0xb0 [rtw89_pci] rtw89_pci_probe+0xa96/0xbd0 [rtw89_pci] ? __pfx___device_attach_driver+0x10/0x10 ? __pfx___device_attach_driver+0x10/0x10 local_pci_probe+0x47/0xa0 pci_call_probe+0x5d/0x190 pci_device_probe+0xa7/0x160 really_probe+0xf9/0x370 ? pm_runtime_barrier+0x55/0xa0 __driver_probe_device+0x8c/0x140 driver_probe_device+0x24/0xd0 __device_attach_driver+0xcd/0x170 bus_for_each_drv+0x99/0x100 __device_attach+0xb4/0x1d0 device_attach+0x10/0x20 pci_bus_add_device+0x59/0x90 pci_bus_add_devices+0x31/0x80 pciehp_configure_device+0xaa/0x170 pciehp_enable_slot+0xd6/0x240 pciehp_handle_presence_or_link_change+0xf1/0x180 pciehp_ist+0x162/0x1c0 irq_thread_fn+0x24/0x70 irq_thread+0xef/0x1c0 ? __pfx_irq_thread_fn+0x10/0x10 ? __pfx_irq_thread_dtor+0x10/0x10 ? __pfx_irq_thread+0x10/0x10 kthread+0xfc/0x230 ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 ret_from_fork+0x47/0x70 ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 </TASK>

CVE-2025-38433 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-11-19 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: riscv: fix runtime constant support for nommu kernels the `__runtime_fixup_32` function does not handle the case where `val` is zero correctly (as might occur when patching a nommu kernel and referring to a physical address below the 4GiB boundary whose upper 32 bits are all zero) because nothing in the existing logic prevents the code from taking the `else` branch of both nop-checks and emitting two `nop` instructions. This leaves random garbage in the register that is supposed to receive the upper 32 bits of the pointer instead of zero that when combined with the value for the lower 32 bits yields an invalid pointer and causes a kernel panic when that pointer is eventually accessed. The author clearly considered the fact that if the `lui` is converted into a `nop` that the second instruction needs to be adjusted to become an `li` instead of an `addi`, hence introducing the `addi_insn_mask` variable, but didn't follow that logic through fully to the case where the `else` branch executes. To fix it just adjust the logic to ensure that the second `else` branch is not taken if the first instruction will be patched to a `nop`.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ethernet: rtsn: Fix a null pointer dereference in rtsn_probe() Add check for the return value of rcar_gen4_ptp_alloc() to prevent potential null pointer dereference.
CVE-2025-38450 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-11-19 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7925: prevent NULL pointer dereference in mt7925_sta_set_decap_offload() Add a NULL check for msta->vif before accessing its members to prevent a kernel panic in AP mode deployment. This also fix the issue reported in [1]. The crash occurs when this function is triggered before the station is fully initialized. The call trace shows a page fault at mt7925_sta_set_decap_offload() due to accessing resources when msta->vif is NULL. Fix this by adding an early return if msta->vif is NULL and also check wcid.sta is ready. This ensures we only proceed with decap offload configuration when the station's state is properly initialized.

The following log reveals it: [ 32.374955] isl29028 0-0010: remove [ 32.376861] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000006: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI [ 32.377676] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000030-0x0000000000000037] [ 32.379432] RIP: 0010:kernfs_find_and_get_ns+0x28/0xe0 [ 32.385461] Call Trace: [ 32.385807] sysfs_unmerge_group+0x59/0x110 [ 32.386110] dpm_sysfs_remove+0x58/0xc0 [ 32.386391] device_del+0x296/0xe50 [ 32.386959] cdev_device_del+0x1d/0xd0 [ 32.387231] devm_iio_device_unreg+0x27/0xb0 [ 32.387542] devres_release_group+0x319/0x3d0 [ 32.388162] i2c_device_remove+0x93/0x1f0
CVE-2025-2794 1 Kentico 1 Xperience 2025-11-19 N/A
An unsafe reflection vulnerability in Kentico Xperience allows an unauthenticated attacker to kill the current process, leading to a Denial-of-Service condition. This issue affects Xperience: through 13.0.180.
CVE-2025-38522 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-11-18 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched/ext: Prevent update_locked_rq() calls with NULL rq Avoid invoking update_locked_rq() when the runqueue (rq) pointer is NULL in the SCX_CALL_OP and SCX_CALL_OP_RET macros. Previously, calling update_locked_rq(NULL) with preemption enabled could trigger the following warning: BUG: using __this_cpu_write() in preemptible [00000000] This happens because __this_cpu_write() is unsafe to use in preemptible context. rq is NULL when an ops invoked from an unlocked context. In such cases, we don't need to store any rq, since the value should already be NULL (unlocked). Ensure that update_locked_rq() is only called when rq is non-NULL, preventing calling __this_cpu_write() on preemptible context.
CVE-2025-38517 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2025-11-18 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: lib/alloc_tag: do not acquire non-existent lock in alloc_tag_top_users() alloc_tag_top_users() attempts to lock alloc_tag_cttype->mod_lock even when the alloc_tag_cttype is not allocated because: 1) alloc tagging is disabled because mem profiling is disabled (!alloc_tag_cttype) 2) alloc tagging is enabled, but not yet initialized (!alloc_tag_cttype) 3) alloc tagging is enabled, but failed initialization (!alloc_tag_cttype or IS_ERR(alloc_tag_cttype)) In all cases, alloc_tag_cttype is not allocated, and therefore alloc_tag_top_users() should not attempt to acquire the semaphore. This leads to a crash on memory allocation failure by attempting to acquire a non-existent semaphore: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc000000001b: 0000 [#3] SMP KASAN NOPTI KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x00000000000000d8-0x00000000000000df] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Tainted: G D 6.16.0-rc2 #1 VOLUNTARY Tainted: [D]=DIE Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.2-debian-1.16.2-1 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:down_read_trylock+0xaa/0x3b0 Code: d0 7c 08 84 d2 0f 85 a0 02 00 00 8b 0d df 31 dd 04 85 c9 75 29 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 48 8d 6b 68 48 89 ea 48 c1 ea 03 <80> 3c 02 00 0f 85 88 02 00 00 48 3b 5b 68 0f 85 53 01 00 00 65 ff RSP: 0000:ffff8881002ce9b8 EFLAGS: 00010016 RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: 0000000000000070 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 000000000000001b RSI: 000000000000000a RDI: 0000000000000070 RBP: 00000000000000d8 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: ffffed107dde49d1 R10: ffff8883eef24e8b R11: ffff8881002cec20 R12: 1ffff11020059d37 R13: 00000000003fff7b R14: ffff8881002cec20 R15: dffffc0000000000 FS: 00007f963f21d940(0000) GS:ffff888458ca6000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f963f5edf71 CR3: 000000010672c000 CR4: 0000000000350ef0 Call Trace: <TASK> codetag_trylock_module_list+0xd/0x20 alloc_tag_top_users+0x369/0x4b0 __show_mem+0x1cd/0x6e0 warn_alloc+0x2b1/0x390 __alloc_frozen_pages_noprof+0x12b9/0x21a0 alloc_pages_mpol+0x135/0x3e0 alloc_slab_page+0x82/0xe0 new_slab+0x212/0x240 ___slab_alloc+0x82a/0xe00 </TASK> As David Wang points out, this issue became easier to trigger after commit 780138b12381 ("alloc_tag: check mem_profiling_support in alloc_tag_init"). Before the commit, the issue occurred only when it failed to allocate and initialize alloc_tag_cttype or if a memory allocation fails before alloc_tag_init() is called. After the commit, it can be easily triggered when memory profiling is compiled but disabled at boot. To properly determine whether alloc_tag_init() has been called and its data structures initialized, verify that alloc_tag_cttype is a valid pointer before acquiring the semaphore. If the variable is NULL or an error value, it has not been properly initialized. In such a case, just skip and do not attempt to acquire the semaphore. [harry.yoo@oracle.com: v3]
